Friends there did report it has been a warm fall.

I was just in Minneapolis for a couple days. To my surprise, the leaf color there in the inner suburbs was quite similar to how it is here, currently. Maybe a couple days to a week ahead. I had never been there this time of year before so I figured they'd already be past peak due to the higher latitude/cooler climate.

you weren't kidding lol. nearly all of this between hour 200-300. start building your arks

@Eskimo Joe @wxmeddleryou and the MD Mesonet team made UMD Pres. Pines' "State of the Campus" address today.

Nice breeze accumulations today

Euro from Sunday 12z

Temps in the high 40s/low 50s even in the inside-the-beltway heat island this AM; fall actually here to stay now?

Agreed on the mild. I just want some rain. Last october was dry and gorgeous IIRC. And good to know about that correlation!

welp

Breath of fresh air outside this morning, quite literally.

Shorts and t-shirts until Oct 15th or bust

Yeah, as long as we have sun and low humidity, that would be great. If we are stuck in the swamp pattern, however, no thanks

How we looking longwave? Cpc maps are red red red on temps thru 14 days

Poplar trees are crunchy overly toasted toast in my neighborhood. Lawns are still green cuz we've had a couple showers.
